CIRCULAR  16. 


The  Purpose. 

The  purpose  of  this  bulletin  is : 

1.  To  aid  the  teacher  and  the  pupil  to  use  the  library  in  the  regular 
school  work. 

The  course  of  study  recommends  certain  books  to  supplement  the 
books  in  history,  geography,  reading  and  language.  In  this  bulletin 
the  directions  are  more  specific.  In  most  cases  the  pages  are  cited 
where  helpful  material  may  be  found  for  each  month. 

2.  To  direct  the  pupils’  home  reading  so  that  it  will  not  only  be 
suited  to  his  age  and  attainment,  but  that  it  may  reinforce  the  interest 
in  his  regular  school  work. 

The  Illinois  Pupils’  Reading  Circle  has  selected  over  two  hundred 
books  and  indicated  those  adapted  to  the  reader  grades  as  2d,  3d,  4th 
and  5th.  This  bulletin  indicates  how  and  when  these  books  can  be  used 
to  reinforce  the  pupils’  interested  in  the  regular  school  work. 

3.  To  aid  teachers  and  school  officers  in  selecting  good  books  for 
the  school  library. 

These  books  were  selected  by  constituted  school  authorities,  and  with 
the  definite  purpose  to  be  most  helpful  to  pupils  in  all  stages  of  ad¬ 
vancement  in  the  public  schools.  No  mistakes  can  be  made  in  getting 
suitable  books  that  will  be  both  helpful  in  school  work  and  appeal  to 
the  child’s  interest. 

It  is  not  expected  that  schools  will  secure  all  the  books  at  once,  but 
that  the  teacher  will  select  those  first  that  appear  to  be  most  useful. 

*  Later,  others  may  be  added. 

4.  To  make  the  purchase  of  books  easv  and  as  inexpensive  as  possi¬ 
ble. 

These  books  are  published  by  more  than  thirty  publishers.  To  order 
from  all  these  would  be  difficult.  The  manager  of  the  Pupils’  Reading 
Circle  will  supply  the  books  at  as  greatly  reduced  prices  as  possible. 

The  Method. 

1.  Let  all  the  pupils  in  a  class  master  the  lesson  in  the  text  book. 
When  this  is  done  assign  to  some  or  all  of  them  if  possible  a  topic  in 
books  listed  for  that  month’s  work.  .Let  each  report  in  class  what  he 
found  in  his  reading. 


2.  Try  to  have  each  pupil  take  a  book  home  to  read  in  his  leisure 
moments. 

The  pupil’s  ability  to  read  and  his  interest  should  be  controlling 
factors  in  the  selections  of  the  home  reading.  To  the  compiler  of  this 
bulletin,  the  order  here  given  seems  best,  but  there  may  be  many  ex¬ 
ceptions.  Consult  the  needs  and  interest  of  the  individual  pupil. 

To  enroll  in  the  Illinois  Pupils’  Reading  Circle  and  work  for  the 
diploma  offered,  aids  greatly  in  stimulating  the  pupils’  interest.  The 
County  Superintendent  will  supply  enrollment  blanks,  certificates  of 
membership  and  diplomas  free  of  cost. 

The  Value  of  Good  Books. 

The  home  is  preeminently  the  place  for  the  right  bringing  up  of 
children.  When  we  come  to  fully  understand  that  the  purpose  of  the 
school  is  to  aid  in  this,  the  results  will  be  better  than  they  are  while  we 
regard  the  purpose  to  be  to  give  the  children  merely  skill  in  reading, 
writing  and  figuring. 

The  thing  most  to  be  desired  in  the  rearing  of  children  is  influence — 
influence  that  will  cause  the  child  to  think  the  truth,  desire  the  right, 
and  to  do  the  useful.  That  is  the  best  home  which  tends  most  strongly 
to  secure  these  results.  That  is  the  best  school  that  does  the  same  for 
the  child  while  his  character  is  forming. 

It  is  companionship  that  exerts  the  greatest  influence  for  good  or  bad 
in  the  growing  character  of  the  child.  Companionship  gives  direction 
to  his  feeling,  thinking  and  doing. 

But  companionship  is  not  found  merely  in  the  association  of  persons. 
Our  closest  companions  are  our  own  thoughts,  purposes  and  ideals. 
These  as  well  as  persons  give  direction  to  our  ambitions  and  inspire  our 
deeds. 

If  then,  we  would  shape  the  character  of  the  child  we  must  give  him 
the  companionship  of  good  people  and  good  thoughts.  The  personal, 
living  contact  of  the  child  with  the  wholesome  personalities  of  father, 
mother,  teachers  and  fellows,  is  most  powerful  in  shaping  his  character. 
But  if  these  would  call  to  their  aid,  the  most  powerful  agent  outside 
their  personal  influence,  they  can  do  no  better  than  to  lay  hold  of  a 
good  book. 

When  a  child  reads  a  good  book  he  withdraws  from  all  else,  and  in, 
the  quietude  of  his  own  consciousness,  he  holds  sweet  companionship 
with  the  personalities  that  come  to  him  out  of  the  book.  Their  thoughts 
become  his  thoughts ;  their  achievements  become  his  ambition ;  their 
desires  become  the  main  spring  of  his  action.  Character  is  forming 
while  he  reads. 

In  school  we  teach  the  child  how  to  read.  Shall  we  stop  with  teach¬ 
ing  him  how?  We  cannot.  He  will  read.  Shall  we  leave  it  to  chance 
whether  the  good  or  the  bad  shall  come  in  his  way?  Or  shall  we  so 
arrange  it  that  only  good  books  shall  meet  him  in  his  school  life  time? 
A  school  without  a  library  of  juvenile  books  is  only  half  a  school.  The 


5 


home  devoid  of  good  books  for  the  children  to  enjoy  is  lacking  in  much. 
The  circulating  school  library  is  also  practically  the  library  of  every 
home  in  the  district. 

One  great  function  of  the  school  has  always  been  to  help  the  child 
to  get  knowledge.  The  teacher  is  too  much  occupied  with  the  pressing 
needs  of  his  many  pupils  to  give  much  knowledge  out  of  his  own  ex¬ 
perience.  The  text  books  at  best  give  only  texts — the  discourse  is  yet 
to  follow.  From  these  sources  the  child  can  get  a  little  only  when  he 
needs  much. 

The  world’s  knowledge  is  stored  in  books.  The  child  that  can  master 
these  has  the  world’s  knowledge  at  his  command.  If  he  can  use  it  his 
life  will  be  rich  indeed. 

The  school  library  may  be  made  to  double  the  power  and  value  of  the 
school  and  its  cost  is  but  a  trifle.  Every  recitation  should  send  the 
child  away  eager  to  find  what  the  library  has  for  him  on  the  subject 
in  which  he  has  become  interested.  The  good  book  should  be  waiting 
for  him  when  he  desires  companionship  for  his  leisure  hours  at  home.
